DSAMG - Dragon Soul Absorb More Glorious
|Jul 04, 2012
|Contrary to what is portrayed in the trailer, killing a dragon is pretty anti-climactic. Aside from the "Mimi Page Dovahkiin Victory Sound" (which is amazing btw), there are no other mods that attempt to remedy this. This mod uses sound edits to make the process of dragon soul absorbing more epic. There are four versions to choose from. Pick four to install. There is also one optional script to download, which adds animations to the event. Use your own discretion - this may cause glitches,...

Drakehelm Manor and Grotto
|Feb 22, 2012
|Captain William Drakehelm was a mysterious figure who showed up around Dragon Bridge seemingly out of nowhere in the early spring of 4E 192. He purchased a beautiful plot of land along the river just below the falls, and the townsfolk were abuzz at the prospect of being employed in the construction of the home. The Captain ruffled some feathers, to say the least, when he brought in his own large crew of rough characters to handle the job. Adding insult to injury, the workers camped up on the...

Ben Taylor
Ben Taylor graduated in the class of 2013 with a double major in Marketing and Finance.
First and foremost, God receives every ounce of glory for everything I've done and will continue to do. I accepted a Category Analyst position with Acosta Sales and Marketing upon graduation and have recently been promoted into a Replenishment Insights Manager role. Liberty provided the proper foundation to be successful and contribute in Corporate America from day one. Business, even at the corporate level, will always be about relationships. The education and mentorship I received from Liberty University continues to be a difference maker in everything I do from corporate sales calls to serving in the community.
Own your development, serve and love others, work as if you are working for the Lord. Liberty will put the necessary tools in your toolbox, how much they are developed when you graduate is on you.
Elisabeth Howe
Elisabeth Howe graduated in the class of 2011 with a B.S. in Information Systems and a minor in Business and Strategic Intelligence.
"My career with the Department of Defense (DoD) began with my internship at the Defense Information System Agency (DISA) as a rising Sophomore in the summer of 2008, and continued throughout my college career. My successful completion of this internship and the education provided through Liberty University gave me a competitive advantage over my peers and was a determining factor in being selected for my current position at Rivanna Station with the DoD starting the summer after graduation.
In my role as IT project manager, I am directly responsible for managing multiple complex projects and the corresponding multimillion dollar software development contracts. Through my daily activities I interface with external agencies and commands in support of programs, developing technical solutions utilizing the organization's core infrastructure. One such project afforded me the opportunity to travel to Canberra, Australia in direct support of an allied program. Liberty University's diverse and career centered curriculum combined with the professors' ability to blend real world experience with academia provided the foundation for the successful start to my career.
My advice to current students is to accept responsibility for your own success by making the most out of your time while in school. Increase your knowledge beyond standard coursework and really delve into the areas of specific interest to you. Make lasting relationships with your professors and peers because you never know who might be able to provide that critical recommendation. And finally, trust God and be open to new opportunities, no matter where they may lead you.
Fares Abufarha
Fares was born in Beit Sahour, a small village next to the biblical town of Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
"Though I was raised as a Christian in perhaps the "holiest" place in the world, it wasn't until my college years that I truly came to follow Christ. My life was transformed while attending Liberty University. I came to LU hoping to merely receive a degree, but I graduated as new creation in Jesus Christ, full of dreams and passion to change the world, and determined to shine the light of Christ everywhere I go and in everything I do." Fares states that there were several individuals who had a positive impact on his life including founder Jerry Falwell, Sr., and faculty members Dr. George Buzzy, Dr. Brian Satterlee, and Dr. William Wegert.
In 2004, upon graduation from LU Fares Abufarha was hired to design and devlop complex and large training systems in the Arabic language for various government and private clients. He earned recognition as a Subject Matter expert and received numerous awards for his work. However, God called Fares to found and lead a non-profit organization called Levant Ministries to share the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ with the Arabic-speaking people and Muslims around the world. Fares has been a frequent guest at numerous Christian conferences all over the world and has led him to produce multiple audio projects, and numerous TV shows that air via satellite channels around the globe. Just this past Christmas Eve, Fares was invited to share the Gospel In Bethlehem before thousands of people and millions watching on TV and online. "Who would have ever thought that a teenager from Bethlehem would come to LU and return back to Bethlehem years later as a preacher of the Gospel? Only Christ does that."
"Serve and follow Christ, put Him first in your plans, make the proclamation of the Gospel a priority in your life and God will take you to places that you never dreamed of."

11am - 10:00pm, Sundays - Friday 11 am - 9:00pm, Saturday 11 am - 7:00pm, Sunday
Phenomenally Philly Cheesesteaks, Astoundingly Authentic... – Being Pennsylvania dutch, I know what an outstanding, bonified, Real Philly Cheesesteak is, and folks, Amatos, is the only refuge for real, east coast eats.
The flavor is incomparable, bursting with sauteed onions, american cheese, marinara sauce, hot and sweet peppers......
The Bread is a homemade potato roll, (traditional way).....
And two hours after it is baked, it is in your mouth......ps.... Dont wear a white shirt, and be prepared to walk like a penguin, post consumption. Also, get a shorty, for it is behemoth. This place has italian hoagies, meatball sandwiches, chicken parmigiana sandwiches .... ALlen east coast staples. Pictures of philly, especially the boathouse rowland, at Christmas, will make you tear up, if your are from yhere like me. Looks for the big philly eagles truck outside.
Go Birds !
All hail Amatos...... folks...... Indulgently feast up .....
Dissapointed – They use canned mushrooms. That REALLY throws off the flavor of the sandwich. So, do not order with mushrooms. The meat was plentiful but dry. Meanwhile the bun was probably the best part of the sandwich. Does that seem right to you?
Best Cheese steaks hands down!!! – I love love love this place!!! They guys that work there are always friendly and Its like your at your friends house or something!!! The cheese steaks are sooooo good you will be addicted of you dont eat your fingers off....
Best, guy below me is a L0SER – These sandwhiches are without a doubt the best on either coast. If youd rather go chew on a wet taco (yes the guy below me doesnt know cr/-p about Philly and is propably an illegal immagrant) than go elsewhere. If you know anything about food you'll go to this place for your sandwhiches.
Perhaps if you've grown up on the west coast, the cheesesteaks here might appeal to you. But for a native son of the City of Brotherly Love, these cheesesteaks are awful. The buns are like three times the size they're supposed to be and not brushed with egg enough for the proper crust. The wiz is some generic stuff, not real Cheese Wiz. The steak is sub-par from that used in real Philly joints like Pat's, Genos or Jim's. If you're from Philly, you'll be disappointed so stay away.
East Coast sandwiches in a West Coast strip mall for those who cringe at the word "diet." – The Scene
This family-run sandwich shop boasts red-and-white diner decor, with comfortable window seats and an extra-long counter, giving the place a bit of a '50s vibe, but without the period memorabilia. Instead, walls display photos of Philly, along with loyal regulars from the local police force.
The Food
There's a reason there's no drive-thru: The enormous sandwiches simply cannot be eaten on the go. The Italian hoagie is packed with lettuce, tomatoes, cappacoli, Genoa salami and provolone, then topped with olive oil and seasonings. A "pizza twist," or pansirade, comes with sausage, cheese and pepperoni--meatballs are added by request. Most of the 35 sandwiches offered come on an Italian roll, chosen for its likeness to the rolls used in Philly steak shops. Cheese steaks are made fresh with lean beef, sweet peppers and onions, and plenty of white American cheese. Beware of the soggy fries and opt for onion rings instead.
Great! – Amato's is my favorite cheese steak shop on the West Coast. The gentleman who owns it makes the steaks often, and his son works the register. The steaks are delicious - although sometimes they are a little inconsistent. The cheese doesn't always melt by the time you eat it, things like that. BUT!... when they come out right they are as good as any you'll get in Philly (except Mama's in Bala Cynwd.) As far as the Italian Hoagie - it is my favorite one ANYWHERE. I think it is as good as any hoagie you can get. Fat, delicious, and on large soft roll. The meats are high quality and flavorful! God I want one right now!
Cheesefries - perfect whizzed deliciousness - and refill sodas. Great place! Fun and delicious.
BIG AND FULL OF FLAVOR – Hey, Being from Philly I know a good Chyeesesteak! and this place has got'm. The Sandwiches there are so big I had to wrap 1/2 to take home. Hey for the price I paid wich was about $7.50 with a drink, the other places I went, you could have made 4 of there sandwiches out of just one of Amato's. Oh and the Cheeses fries are the best I have ever eaten, couldn,t finish them either awhole lot of fries in one order. you get your moneys worth here. But big don't always mean good, but in this case the flavor and great taste make you keep eating till you stuffed so i give Amato,s 9 out of 10. good job keep it up
True! they are the best cheesesteaks! – Their small cheesesteak with the works would definately be more than enough for a large appetite and is about $7. They offer cheesesteaks with chicken. Their sandwiches are meat galore. I request 1/2 the amount of meat with extra cheese. Yum! Ambiance is poor... so take on a romantic picnic or sit by the fire or great for a movie night.
cant beqat it!! – This is the best place for a cheese steak!! I have been going since it opened, and you cant beat the friendly service and the price for the size of the portion!!

Between you, me and the fence post … I've got pictures. Or at least one picture that appears to verify its authenticity.
This 180-year-old fence, which once stood on campus, is thick with history, Yale history, college football history. The Yale fence, long ago reduced to an 8-foot section where captains posed, also is fairly thick with intrigue.
Oh, don't worry, it certainly looks to be part of the original fence. There is the long, distinctive fracture running through the middle rail. There is a large knot at the upper corner of the top post. And the photo appears to match photographs from more than a century ago.
What we don't know is exactly where the Yale fence is. Judging by the photo and the flora, it's in somebody's yard in a temperate climate, maybe in Connecticut, maybe two doors down in your neighbor's backyard.
What we do know is that the owner, who supplied the photo and has asked for anonymity, is looking to auction it off, probably in 2014, the 100th birthday of the Yale Bowl.
Its location is a secret. It has to be. Gangs, you know. Maybe gangs from Cornell, in Saturday for the Yale home opener, or from Princeton. Or the worst gangs of 'em all. The ones from Harvard. Students from the Harvard Lampoon, crazed perhaps by the stock market crash, stole the fence in the autumn of 1929 and didn't return it until a week after the 10-6 victory over Yale. The fence's current owners cannot be too careful.
"Since virtually every Yale captain has been photographed on the fence, including Walter Camp, I think it is a significant part of Yale football history," said Rich Marazzi, author of "A Bowl Full of Memories: 100 Years of Football in the Yale Bowl," to be published by Skyhorse in the summer of 2014. "It is a tradition at Yale to only elect one captain, no co-captains. Every captain is thrilled to be photographed at the fence."
Walter Camp was photographed at the fence. … Albie Booth, Heisman Trophy winners Larry Kelley and Clint Frank. You'll even find the Yale baseball captain who helped lead the Eli to the national finals in 1947 and 1948 photographed on the fence. His name is George Herbert Walker Bush.
The rules changed in college sports a long time ago, of course. Major conferences call the shots. ESPN determines the story lines. Whatever they determine as iconic instantly becomes iconic. Not for a moment is that to take away from Howard Rock at Clemson or the "Play Like a Champion Today" sign at Notre Dame or the Auburn oaks at Toomer's Corner. We're just saying that Yale was deemed to be the best football team in the country 26 times between 1872 and 1909. We're just saying that 70,000-80,000 fans used to pour into Yale Bowl in the 1920s and '30s to see Army and Michigan and all the great opponents.
And we're just saying that Yale captains started posing in front of the fence in 1875, when U.S. Grant was in the White House, when Aristides won the first Kentucky Derby.
Marazzi has written a definitive chapter about the Yale fence in his upcoming book and he explains that William Arnold was the first captain to pose on the fence in 1875. The fence, according to Marazzi's research, stood at College and Chapel streets and ran in front of Old Brick Row for a half century from the 1830s. Evidently, it was quite the hot spot. No less than Camp was once quoted, "Men of all tastes and modes of life were there together. They sat on a common rail."
From there, however, there is no common rail. Judith Ann Schiff, the chief research archivist at the Yale Library, wrote in the 1998 Yale Alumni Magazine that the fence was removed as buildings sprang up around it in 1885, sections first vanishing and later everything going after the Yale crew beat Harvard. Marazzi cited other sources saying that the fence already was fairly wrecked during 1879 rush week. Who knew that college vandalism in the state didn't start with UConn Spring Weekend?
Ever heard of the Pach Brothers? Maybe not. Well, dating to 1867, Pach Brothers was one of the earliest and most famous photography businesses in New York. Twain, Edison, Carnegie, Marconi, Mellon, J.P. Morgan, Booker T. Washington — their photos are in their archives. Anyway, Pach Brothers opened a New Haven studio on Chapel Street and, according to Marazzi, an employee salvaged an 8-foot section of the fence as a prop, and for decades and decades, from Camp to Bush and beyond, Yale captains in all sports were photographed with the fence.
Oh, it had its moments. After those dastardly members of Harvard Lampoon, the famed humor publication, stole the fence, they had the school janitor pose in front of it. Well, it all ended up in Life magazine, which reported that the Pach Brothers valued the fence at $10,000 when the cops were called. Life called the janitor posing a "sacrilegious mockery of Yale's captains."
The Harvard game day program in 1931 had a caricature of John Harvard sitting on the fence. Some Yale alumni weren't sitting on the fence. According to Marazzi's upcoming book, they were so angry that a suspension of the football series was briefly discussed. Love it.
From there, according to Marazzi, the fence went the Pach Brothers to George Weber's studio on Chapel Street and bounced around. Raymond Pratt of Pratt Brothers loaned it to Adam Fusco of Adam House in East Haven, later got it back and sold it to Clarence Whitney. He, in turn, sold it to Frank Conti, co-owner of Kavanaugh's restaurant, formerly Jocko Sullivan's, which, incidentally, is the legendary place where Ben Schwartzwalder and the great Ernie Davis persuaded New Haven's Hall of Famer Floyd Little to play at Syracuse. From there, the fence's ownership has grown hazy and its location a secret.
Here's another twist. Marazzi went through years of photos and determined that Joe Mitinger was the last captain to be photographed in front of the old fence in 1952. He could tell by the long fracture in the middle rail. He said that starting with Joe Fortunato in 1953, captains are pictured in front of the fence that's currently inside the Ray Tompkins House, the building adjacent to Payne Whitney Gym.
In his book, Marazzi cites Michael Lotstein, records services archivist at the Yale Library, saying it is "a piece of the actual Yale Fence." Marazzi, however, says its provenance is unknown. Marazzi likes to use the word provenance. It comes from the French word "provenir," and it means place of origin. A fence's provenance, yes, only at Yale.
There will be plenty of celebration in New Haven next year in conjunction with the 100th birthday of the Yale Bowl. In a salute to the grand old days, Army, which hasn't played Yale since 1996, will bring its cadet corps and play at Yale Bowl. So next year is when the Yale fence's owner is looking to auction off the fence. Who knows how much it will go for? Who knows where all the proceeds will go? Say this much, there are some heavy hitters at Yale who would probably love to own it and keep it out of a Harvard alum's hands.
"This will be a one-of-a-kind vintage piece of memorabilia," Marazzi said. "I wish the buyer and the seller the best."

Dull and vibrant, alike, surface at career fair
Students should learn to use fashion to grab employers' attention
Published: Thursday, February 9, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 21:07
Students flocked to Mays Business School on Tuesday and Wednesday, clutching their portfolios and resumes for the Business Student Council Career Fair. Sleek, sharp and shiny business suits were worn as if Texas A&M University's west side of campus was throwing together its own fashion week, similar to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week that commenced yesterday.
The building was jam-packed with Aggies promoting themselves to company representatives, hoping to land a job as graduation swiftly approaches. Finding it difficult to walk through the crowd, I enjoyed setting up camp — with my Kenneth Cole messenger bag and camera — to inquisitively watch passers-by. "Presentation is key for success," I thought, and there was — ultimately — a good mixture of outfits both good and bad.
The Texas A&M Career Center website states, "Different companies and industries have different norms in regard to business dress."
I completely agree.
With that said, most companies at the career fair were in industries primarily recruiting accounting, finance, supply chain management or information systems majors. Naturally, these companies fancy dark- and warm-colored tones.
It's too bad there weren't any fashion designers or magazines recruiting at Texas A&M. Savannah Smith, Class of 2009 and a marketing master's candidate, would have landed a position within the fashion industry in a heartbeat.
Spicing up the halls of Texas A&M's Wehner building with color, Smith impressively wore a magenta jacket from Forever21 with a multi-colored shirt underneath. Her royal blue skirt from J. Crew was a solid investment that matched elegantly with her black Gianni Bini boots. She wasn't in search for a job, though; she is the creative manager at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Her job title fluidly matched with her style.
"Dressing up, with my own flair, gives me the confidence and energy to tackle each day full force," Smith said. "I like to bring a little color and funk to the business world that is so dominated by classic black and white."
The career fair also showcased Aggies who dressed sophisticatedly in perfectly-fitted suit jackets — with slacks (for guys) or skirts (for girls). It put a smile on my face to know they were confident in their appearance as they filled the area with strong vibes. The number fitting this description, however, was quite small.
Most guys wore extra-baggy slacks combined with suit jackets that made them look like they were adolescents wearing a six-foot-something football player's jacket. Maybe that is they look they were going for, but it definitely failed to be form-fitting.
Guys: Perhaps you're wishing to not be suffocated in a suit (I mean, who wants that anyway?), but aim to find a suit that doesn't ruffle and fly in the wind as you walk. It's okay for one's form to be noticed through clothing. Invest in a suit that maintains structure and is form-fitting … Details.com agrees.
Because we are in college, we can be realistic in terms of value, suit cost and quality. Of course we (as in me, too) aren't going to be able to afford a three-piece luxury suit. I don't have $2,000 cash at a moment's disposal. Do you? (If so, perhaps we can split the cost.) But a trip to the local tailor can help a ton and save a wad of cash or a swipe on our plastic cards. Don't know of a tailor? Google it.
Fashion is subjective. Plain and simple. Every perspective from which we come will influence what we deem as "fashionable" or "stylish," and that's OK. Don't be afraid to flair-up your outfit by wearing a fitted, dark-colored suit matched with a popping-colored tie (for guys) or a blouse (for girls). As a good rule of thumb, wear a color that compliments your eyes. That is, if you're a guy or girl with blue eyes, wear a light-blue clothing article that sets you apart from the blacks, whites and grays.
Wear form-fitting attire with a splash of color-contrasting accessories (i.e., tie or blouse) that amplifies your resume and speech skills. It will make for an even more effective impression.
To those who made an extra effort in adding your own style and flare to your business get-up, I commend you. We don't have to dress as colorful as Smith, but be different. She did. She made her outfit work and owned it.
"Fashion is a more mainstream version of art," Smith said. "It's one way to express my creativity every day."

The Biggest Bet in Vegas
Impresario Steve Wynn has broken ground on a $1.95 billion hotel, Le Reve
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
Steve Wynn, Jan/Feb 03
Steve Wynn is back. Steve Wynn is back. This is the hopeful drumbeat that echoes from one end of the Las Vegas Strip to the other. Nervous competitors -- hotel executives who've seen their fortunes take a post-9/11 tumble, initiated massive job cuts, and watched seemingly unbridled construction grind to a halt -- have good reason to pin their hopes on Wynn.
If history is an indicator, his return augurs well for the renewed growth of Vegas -- especially since Wynn (no bluffer when it comes to these sorts of things) vows that his next project, a $1.95 billion mega-resort called Le Reve, or The Dream, will be his greatest accomplishment yet. It's three years away from completion, and already Vegas is in a tizzy. The buzz on Wall Street isn't far behind. Wynn will use proceeds from a recent $450 million initial public offering, loans from private investors, and some of his own money to finance his newest, innovative twenty-first-century concept for Las Vegas.
The comeback mega-deal isn't bad for the son of a gambler who owned a chain of bingo parlors and died thousands of dollars in debt. It's doubly not-bad when you consider that the 60-year-old Wynn, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in English and married his one-and-only at age 21, originally came to Vegas in 1967 through a fluke offer to own a small piece of the Frontier Hotel.
Less than a year later, however -- following some messy business when it came to light that the Frontier's main backers were Detroit mobsters -- Wynn pleaded ignorance, cashed out and parlayed the Frontier stake into a parcel of property near Caesars Palace. He flipped the land for a cool $1 million profit and used his cut of that money to buy a 5 percent share of the Golden Nugget. By age 31, in 1973, Steve Wynn was the majority shareholder of the Nugget and the youngest casino owner in Las Vegas.
Despite years of success that followed, in 1989 -- just before Wynn's completion of the Mirage kicked off Vegas's decade-long boom of building and prosperity -- he had plenty of detractors. They mocked his ambition to open a world-class resort at a time when Las Vegas was dead, when it was little more than a city dominated by grind-joints where a high-end hotel seemed an ill-fated nightmare. "Everybody was skeptical," remembers George Maloof, owner of the recently opened Palms Casino Resort and a longtime student of Wynn. "He was spending $600 million on a resort that would need to do $1 million a day in business. Nobody had ever come close to that. People thought he wouldn't make it. But he opened his doors and never looked back."
More importantly, for the bigger picture of Vegas as a whole, Wynn tilted the playing field in an intense way. "Once Steve opened the Mirage, he put pressure on other companies to open mega-theme resorts," says Maloof.
Seemingly overnight, Vegas went from bust to boom. Wynn was the match that lit a powder keg of growth in a city that, just a year earlier, seemed hopelessly dated and written off. "People had to grow to compete with the Mirage," adds Maloof, "and suddenly Vegas became cool again."
By 1998, when he launched the greatest gambling hall of the twentieth century, the Bellagio, Wynn was a certified Vegas big shot and the head of the hottest gaming stock on Wall Street. He was lauded as a pioneer, viewed as the Nevada equivalent of his boyhood hero Harry Mufson, the man who built the Eden Rock -- a lavishly stylized, wedding cake of a hotel in Miami Beach, where Wynn and his parents spent their winters. His $1.67 billion Bellagio was as cool and idiosyncratic and stylish as Mufson's masterpiece. It also raised the bar on what a Vegas resort could provide and spawned other luxurious palaces like The Venetian and Mandalay Bay. In short, Wynn inspired the transformation of Las Vegas into America's greatest destination.
Then, in March 2000, Kirk Kerkorian smelled weakness. With Mirage Resorts' stock price declining, he swooped in and forced a purchase of the company for $4.4 billion. In one of his first moves, Kerkorian replaced Wynn with J. Terrence Lanni as chairman and chief executive officer. Edged out of his own company, Wynn cashed in his stock for $500 million, took $11.3 million in a severance package, and, suddenly, the most influential man on the Strip was without his landmarks of high-rolling hospitality.
Just one month later, however, clearly unable to stay out of the game, Wynn laid down $270 million and bought Vegas's beloved Desert Inn, a classic property that boasted the city's only remaining public 18-hole golf course, and a place where Howard Hughes had slept and Frank Sinatra had performed. Cagey about what he'd do with it, Wynn holed up with a coterie of advisers, designers and architects. He brought in Japanese pachinko king Kazuo Okada and Baron Asset Fund as investors.

Luna lands to tackle Villa's problem position
The arrival of Antonio Luna, Villa's fifth signing of an impressively productive summer in the transfer market, is perhaps the most intriguing of all so far. Intriguing because, of all the positions in the squad that Villa seem to have more than covered, it is left-back. Now another has joined the club, according to multiple reports.
Villa manager Paul Lambert had no shortage of selection dilemmas when it came to selecting his left-back last season. In fact, it could be argued that it was the hotspot in the lineup in terms of competition. Even though he made an early decision to discount Stephen Warnock from his plans, he still had plenty of options.
Joseph Bennett, who Lambert himself signed, for 2.75 million pounds from Middlesbrough, emerged as the overall first choice through the course of the season, but suffered a rough ride at times. His season was far from straightforward and smooth, and Lambert's decision to sign Luna suggests he is not totally happy with a position which has been a problem for Villa for several seasons.
Villa used four different players at left-back last season -- three in one game. It was a case of almost ever-changing personnel, certainly until the final few matches. Nathan Baker began the season there, starting the opener at West Ham, and then again for the first home match against Everton; that lasted until Ciaran Clark's dismissal meant Baker moved to central defence, and the versatile Eric Lichaj stepped in. Lichaj played against Newcastle and Swansea, before Bennett came in for his debut -- the 4-1 defeat at Southampton.
An inauspicious start, but Bennett stayed in. Until the trip to Sunderland in November 2012, when the chaos really began. Bennett came off injured 11 minutes in, Lichaj replaced him, only to be forced off himself 20 minutes from time. That opened the door for Enda Stevens, and the 22-year-old Dubliner kept the shirt for the next four league games -- against Manchester United and City, Arsenal and Reading. Sadly for Stevens, who was showing signs of settling nicely, he lasted 24 minutes against Reading before suffering the left-back injury curse. Back came Lichaj.
Keeping up? There's plenty more. Bennett's return, after six weeks out with the injury he suffered against Sunderland, came on the darkest day of Villa's season, the 8-0 farce at Chelsea. Baker was pushed out to left-back again for the visit to Reading in March, and he remained there (Ron Vlaar and Clark taking the centre-back roles) a week later, against QPR. But Baker bowed out after 20 minutes with a knock, and Bennett re-entered the fray. From that moment on, he remained Villa's left-back for the remainder of the season.
Given the time and opportunity to establish himself in the side, and with the benefit of a consistent run of games, Bennett's confidence visibly improved, and his form did the same. There was much to admire about his play. He's a footballing full-back with sound technique, has a bit of zip and buzz about him, and can certainly deliver a decent cross. But, as perhaps should be expected from a player stepping up into the Premier League for the first time, he was often exposed as Villa's weak defensive link, caught out of position, caught on the wrong side of his opposing winger. There was a touch of naivete about him.
Villa fans will recall with a cringe the rashness of his tackles against Norwich City at home last October, which earned him a red card, and also the lucky escape he had later on, ironically in the return fixture against the Canaries, when he should have been sentmoff, again, after a series of clumsy challenges. The slackness of his pass, loose in the middle of the field, at home to QPR -- having just replaced Baker -- which was seized upon by Jermaine Jenas to intercept, run on and score, won't be easily forgotten.
There was no hiding place for Bennett last season. There rarely is for a young defender in the Premier League. Bennett was on a steep learning curve, but learn he undoubtedly did, and he should be a more confident, capable and composed player for Villa next season. Certainly, there is enough ability there that Lambert should persevere and nurture, and it would be a surprise if Bennett wasn't still firmly in the manager's plans for 2013-14.
All of which, getting back to where I started, makes Luna's arrival intriguing. Where will he fit in? He's no more experienced than Bennett -- just 22 himself, and is considered a promising talent who didn't really cut it at Sevilla. Capped up to U-20 level by Spain he was loaned out to Real Mallorca last season, a teammate of Alan Hutton. Just to add to the intrigue even further, his strengths are getting forward, hitting the line, contributing offensively. Not too dissimilar to Bennett. In fact, Luna is comfortable doubling as a left-sided midfielder. Which may suggest Lambert has flexible formations on his mind again for the new season.
While Bennett faces competition for his place -- he can't consider the left-back role exclusively his -- Luna's presence essentially ends any need for Baker to fill in at full-back, barring exceptional circumstances, replaces Lichaj, and also suggests Stevens' future lies away from Villa.
It is also not particularly good news for one of Villa's young defensive prospects, Derrick Williams. The Irishman has been linked with a move to Bristol City, and with another left-back blocking his path to the first team; he could be playing his football elsewhere soon. At least on loan.
The key for Villa is quality over quantity, however. Just the two genuine left-backs fighting for a place instead of a repeat of the selection mayhem of last season, and Villa may find a solution to their problem position.

They're out of their cages, they're eating vegetarian and now they're being freed of their Styrofoam packaging.
What's next for organic, free range chickens? Vacations to city?
Petaluma Poultry, which lays claim to being the first and the largest producer of free range organic chickens, has determined that if it sells those chickies wrapped in leakless plastic instead of arranged on a foam tray, it can cut down on packaging costs and volume. And not just a little.

I had to respond to Michael Jedson's guest column, "Additional ACA facts," in the Feb. 7 edition of The Lancaster News. I think it's ironic that on the same day my column, "Stop socialism in America," was printed right next to Mr. Jedson's.
Obviously, he is someone who left his former state probably because of the high taxes and skyrocketing cost of living. Yet, he moves to a red state and criticizes it. When he was living in a blue state, he was surrounded by people who thought just like he does.
I read nearly every reader letter that is published. Some I find interesting, mainly those that help to educate and/or enlighten me. Others I find myself feeling empty, noting that reading them took time out of my life that I can never regain.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is still expanding the list of retailers carrying meat unfit for human consumption to Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and 970 locations in California alone.
About 8.7 million pounds were shipped all through 2013 by Rancho Feeding
Corporation of Petaluma, Calif.
The recall comes in the wake of USDA's new "inspection" program that allows the meat industry to increase speed of processing lines and replace federal inspectors with plant employees.
What do Lancaster County government, Lancaster County School District, Lancaster County Water and Sewer, Lancaster County Natural Gas, Lancaster County Transportation Committee, Lancaster County Library, Lancaster County Courthouse, Lancaster County Sheriff's Department, Lancaster County Voter Registration, Lancaster County Treasurer, Lancaster County Auditor, Lancaster County Probate Judge and the Lancaster County Coroner's Office all have in common?
The good folks down in Kershaw have realized what most of us south of S.C. 75 have known for quite a while.
It ain't politically correct to deny money and services to the folks at the Gateway of Lancaster County.
If they don't get action, they complain and come in droves to County Council meetings and their gripes are printed in our local newspaper.
Politicians don't like poor press and to remain in office they gotta grease that wheel.
On the third Monday of February, Americans celebrate Presidents Day.
Established in the 1880s to honor George Washington, this federal holiday – officially named "Washington's Birthday" – was initially celebrated each year on Feb. 22.
It wasn't until 1971 that Congress moved it to the third Monday in February, providing federal workers a three-day weekend, and it soon became commonly known as Presidents Day.
Republicans wish retiring 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield the best in his future plans and express their gratitude for his 30 years of service in the solicitor's office.
The long hours and many sacrifices he made in the job are truly appreciated and set an example for outstanding public service.
Part of the job of the treasurer's office is to send out property tax bills to county residents for homes, cars, boats and other property. While nobody likes getting a tax bill, it's important the bills are sent to the correct address.
Many property owners have called to complain that they didn't get their tax bill and ended up paying their taxes late because the bill was sent to an old address.
The treasurer's office staff will send the property tax bill to the address on record with the county assessor's office.

I thought I would have problems about that too. However, It is like something in my brain switched. It is a very different sensation. I enjoyed to have my breast touched by my husband, now not so much. They are so sensitive. When I do breast feed I get a warm and very close feeling towards my baby. I noticed that his poop doesn't stink or really have a smell to it when I breast feed. He doesn't spit up as much and his skin seems to be softer. It also give you a some pride in that you are able to care for your baby. Don't get me wrong. It can be frustrating and I do have to give him some formula. But you have to be comfortable with the idea that this is what your breast are made to do. From experience, If you are stressed out and uncomfortable. Your milk will have a hard time coming in and your baby will not have enough to eat. There are risks and benefits for formula and breast feeding. You have to decided what is right for you and your child.
I am breastfeeding and supplementing a little when needed for her growth. Don't be worried for a few reasons. I totally get the thing about mentally switching from a pleasure zone to food zone. But I can almost guarantee you, you will be so tired you wont be thinking about pleasure for a while. It will be more than enough time to give your little one what he/she needs and decide if breastfeeding is for you. Also weigh all the plus' & minuses & talk to friends or family who are on both sides. It ultimately is your decision. I will admit, it isn't my favorite thing. You hear so many people tell you about how magical it is and how they love every moment their little one is feeding. DO NOT FEEL BAD if you are not one of these. But give it a go and maybe you will have those moments and not think twice about formula. If not, there are a lot of good formulas out there to make sure your baby has what he/she needs to grow up just like you dreamed! Good luck!
I felt the same exact way, my baby is now 8 weeks and my milk has never really come in so ive had to supplement her from the get go, its very frustrating also cause i couldnt get her to latch on. hang in there. you did the best you could and thats all that matters
Hope all is well!
As you can see, you're not alone!
I was not comfortable with the idea either. However, I really wanted to give my little one the gift of breastmilk and all its benefits. I actually had a pretty easy time with it, besides her falling asleep too often while feeding. Very minimal pain on my part.
My daughter is now 5 months old and I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that it is time to stop (for me at least). I work 10 hour days and am getting tired of pumping 4 times a day. Also, she is starting to teethe which means she is gnawing on every thing. My husband and I would like to take a vacation soon out of the country and no way am I going to tote a pump along! And lastly, you talk about it is a pleasure zone... I know my husband wants me back to himself.
Definitely give it a try and then you can decide. I honestly had no clue I would love the bonding so much. I am really going to miss it!
Love the support and conversation going on here! It's always good to know that some concerns and worries that you have about pregnancy and birth are not weird and very normal - lots of people wonder about this issue! I think, as a nurse who has cared for lots of new moms/babies, it is very normal to feel apprehensive about breast feeding but many moms have a whole new mindset when their baby is born. Something often just switches inside of you and you realize that your breasts are absolutely perfect for nourishing this little baby. I always say give it a try...you won't regret trying but you might regret not trying. Good luck everyone!

The two Sunnyvale, Calif.-based companies may have illegally sold Internet-monitoring devices to Syria in violation of a U.S. embargo, three senators suggest in a letter to the Obama administration.
Both companies gain market share worldwide as the global storage sector bounces back.
Longtime CEO Dan Warmenhoven is stepping aside while COO Tom Georgens takes command. Does this move make NetApp less likely to be acquired?
Now the heart of EMC's midtier storage lineup, the VNXe family takes the company into a niche it couldn't hit with its Iomega unit, which sells systems in the $5,000 and under segment.
ZFS file system can't be un-open-sourced, Schwartz says on his blog. And if Sun wins, it'll donate some proceeds to open-source and patent reform causes.
Despite a new $33.50 per share takeover offer from EMC, NetApp still believes its proposal to be the winning one as an August shareholder vote looms.
Two law firms claim Data Domain board may not have followed proper procedure by accepting NetApp offer and rejecting competing EMC bid.
The company increases its bid for Data Domain to $30 a share, countering a similar per-share offer made Monday by EMC--which says its bid remains superior.
Data storage giant EMC is attempting to thwart rival NetApp's bid to acquire Data Domain by making a bigger offer.
NetApp says it plans to work Data Domain's de-duplication storage systems--which aim to cut costs and make data management easier--into its own global sales channel.

gradually began to show his unquestionable class. Unfortunately, a collarbone injury sustained at the end of March 2007 kept him out of the title run-in, but his performances had already inspired a rousing song from the fans.
The Serbian soon returned to full fitness and his impressive performances earned him a contract extension in 2007. He said of the improved deal: "Playing in this team is a great privilege. I hope I can do my bit to bring the club even more trophies in the years ahead."
True to his word, Vidic assisted United's Premier League and Champions League double in 2007/08, before helping to retain that top-flight crown the following season while also lifting the League Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. Notably, he also took home two Player of the Year awards, as voted by fellow professionals and fans.
Injury and an ever-changing back four prevented Nemanja from bettering those achievements in 2009/10, though a new four-year deal soon arrived, quickly followed by the announcement that he would succeed Gary Neville as United's club captain, which he described as "a huge honour".

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The James Madison men's tennis team will begin its spring season on Sunday, Jan. 20 when the Dukes face off against No. 31 VCU and Richmond in the VCU 4x1 Invitational in Richmond, Va. JMU will first meet the Rams, former conference foes, at 1 p.m. before taking on the Spiders at 5 p.m. at the Thalhimer Tennis Center.
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association preseason rankings list VCU as the 31st-best team in the country. The Rams were last year's Colonial Athletic Association champions in their final season in the league. The VCU line-up features two players in the top-100 singles players and the No. 36-ranked doubles team.
The Dukes will continue pushing themselves when they make a stop in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Saturday, Feb. 9 to take on No. 18 North Carolina. The Tar Heels, who fell in the semifinal round of the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, have three returning starters from last season, including No. 18 Esben Hess-Olesen. Olesen and teammate Nelson Vick are the preseason No. 44 doubles team in the nation.
Hofstra will be JMU's first conference matchup of the spring season. The Pride will host the Dukes in their own conference-opener on Friday, Feb. 15 in Hempstead, N.Y. Overall, JMU will face six CAA opponents during the regular season, leading up to the CAA Championships April 19-21 in Williamsburg, Va.
JMU will open its home slate on Sunday, March 3 when the Bison of Howard University come to Harrisonburg for a 1:00 p.m. matchup. It will be the first of four home events on the Dukes' 2013 spring docket. JMU will also host the University of Maryland-Baltimore County on Sunday, March 24, Binghamton on Wednesday, March 27, and Radford on Wednesday, April 3.
Spring competition is comprised of dual-style matchups between two schools while the fall season is filled with individual tournament-style play. In dual competition, teams look to earn the majority of seven points on the day from six singles matches, each worth a point, and three doubles matches, with the winner of two of the three taking the doubles point.
The Dukes are coming off a fall campaign of four tournaments that culminated with a trip to the ITA Atlantic Regionals in Charlottesville, Va. in mid-October. As a team, JMU went 38-34 in singles matches at fall tournaments and 18-10 in doubles matches.
Senior Ryan Pool will help lead the charge this spring after going 11-2 in singles competitions in the fall, including a 9-0 start and winning two flight titles (East Carolina University Fall Shootout and Elon University Invitational). He was the lone Duke to play in the Round of 32 at the 2012 ITA Atlantic Regionals. He enters his senior spring with a 50-22 singles career record at JMU.
Pool also teamed up with freshman Robert Stirling to tally a 10-1 record over four tournaments, with their only loss coming in the Round of 16 of the 2012 ITA Atlantic Regionals.
As a singles competitor, Stirling went 6-6 in his first fall campaign as a college athlete and advanced to the Round of 64 in singles play at the 2012 ITA Atlantic Regionals. Two seniors, Hugo Ramadier and Greg Vladimirsky, also advanced to the same round of the tournament.
This fall, Ramadier compiled a 6-4 record in singles competition and after transferring from Northern Arizona, he is a combined 23-15 as a Duke. Vladimirsky went 4-6 on his own this past fall and, as the lone four-year Duke on the men's tennis roster, is a career 54-34 in singles matches.
Vladimirsky partnered up with senior Bastien Russo this fall for doubles competition, and the duo went 4-2 for JMU. When playing by himself, Russo went 5-5 and is now 11-12 in his career as a Duke over two fall campaigns and one spring season.
Senior Florent Sentenac posted a 3-7 record in tour matches as a singles player this fall and freshman Maxi Branth added a 3-4 record in his first collegiate competitions. Senior Malcolm Peace was unable to compete due to injury.
